America needs to control its borders. Period. No waffling. About half the nation doesn't actually believe that, and few in the rest of the World do because socialist ideology discourages borders. So even though a physical wall is the poorest of the containment options, it seems to be the only one that can get traction. Socialists say "no" & Liberty folks say "yes," and something happens, or not, depending on which half controls the nation.
You are confusing the Empire with an actual democracy. The Elites, AKA the Aristocracy, uses such terms to control the masses, and extol the glories that is the American Empire.
You're also overly broad in your definitions. One can be a socialist, and a nationalist, and a believer in the of the rule of law, a Constitutionalist, like me.

And in the recent past, just how many politicos actual meant to keep their promises? One of the reasons Bernie Sanders was, and is, popular is because he actually seems to believe, and follow, what he says. Unlike most of them.

I like how you pretend that physical barriers don't do anything. You're not sitting out in the middle of a field right now. You're surrounded by walls, and doors with locks. Why'd you waste your money? Don't you know they don't do anything?
That's facile.

Sell your house and go live in a vacant lot, or STFU.
Still facile.

Seriously, seems Smitty & I are the true fiscal conservatives. The rest of you are quite happy spending like a drunken sailor, as long as the people spending the money wear red clothing.
Sad. Very very sad.
We need a D in the big chair and the Rs in the house. When a D sits in WH, the R team doesn't want to spend money on nonsense, for some reason.
If you can't sell your plan to the congress, that isn't my fault. Sex it up, that shit is on you. Trump put effort into selling his pitch, it's time you worked on yours. Cheap and effective doesn't sell as well as you think it does, you gotta spice that shit up.
I'm assuming you agree kath's idea is the better one, why don't you find ways to "spice that shit up."

We don't need fucking SSNs for immigration control.

Now you are trolling.
